peaceful the dust
lingers on my shelves
I touch books thrown
back in time where
is all that mind
knowledge gone
the people that
walked with me
transmuted no
stone left unturned
no thing left the same
I let dust be as
my eyes scan spines
bleached by the
sunlight come
god pick me up
.
.
.
.
*
the days I must
teach
I wake up
before birds do
I get off
in darkness
with darkness I return
stars shine
over me their smiles
.
.
Frozen Pond

*
perhaps I live for ever
beyond the world’s borders
without realizing
those limits useless talks
and mean chit-chats
laid out as spider webs
perhaps I fly protected
in the blinding light
and at night I cry
cause I did not grasp it
.

January 27 was International Holocaust Memorial Day , this poems is my contribution to honor the victims.

poetry fleets
liquid to the corners
of the eyes laying down
remembrance unable to find
words to wrap up
these feelings

I did read six pages
this morning
to make me revolve
once more
in the right direction
it has been
long since I could
poetry came
to give me a hand
to see who
am I once more
.

Feeling sad… The six pages mentioned in this poem I published Tuesday are those of a Mary Oliver book, and today, two days later, she passed away…

left with questions
raising as people complain
not understanding
hiking the silent way alone
making answers room

Yesterday it was my birthday, I choose this poetic meditation for today because growing is a beautiful, truly beautiful, journey – even when we don’t understand life.

Poesia in quattro stanze
I
ogni festa comandata è vendemmia
le persone stanno come grappoli
unite serrate vicine aggrappate
a volte tra loro solo ragnatele
pressate nessuno spazio
per muoversi
distinguersi
e si amano così
dicono
senza prospettiva
non conoscono distanza
vuoti
II
mi preferisco acino
solitario staccato rotolato via
pesante di dolcezza
piccolo il rostro
III
il primo era decisamente da grappolo
vive di social network frenetica
cicala gli arriva poca luce
resta acido
costruisce castelli
imperi di sabbia e parole
IV
il secondo si è strappato a forza
dal grappolo esule sulla motocicletta
si sa che in moto sta comodo
solo il guidatore
per assicurarsi la sua
indipendenza rompe
tutte le regole
tutte
non teme il futuro non
teme nulla e nessuno
ma l’amore

hearing steps
of life carried out
gasping one day
they will be no more
times rolls away
my finger fail to
halt it to stillness
.

Happy New Year! Happy we are still able to count them.

mind doesn’t follow me
on grasping being
everything
kicks and jibs while
I feel and know
.

.Merry Chistmas and Happe Holiday – be poetic!

I write hesitantly
as if scared to feel
too much as if afraid
to make noise
.
to intimidate
the graciousness
of this whisper past
my ears past my mind
.
I got there somehow
once more afraid
to be cast away
when I was it
.
.
.
.
*
it’s there you know
poetry waits patiently
for me to return to
our holy silence
to our time alone to
that embrace if I could
never let go always
be poetry myself
.
.
.
.
*
it comes up
as water gushing
out of a broken pipe
the flood of tears
when I sit face
to face poetry
meeting me
.
.
.
.

it has been weeks
since we had a good
time and talked one
to another poetry
and I weeks of dry
isolation weeks
of mundane problems
sinking down with
all the other people
.

I leave the dust
to rest on my books
I remove the dust
from my shoes have
you wondered
.
transforming desert
the vast space
filled with the wind
voice to instruct
my questioning soul
.
.
.
.
*
things cluttered
I move them around
just a bit as to call them
to make a list of prisoners
.
to make them feel less
lonely as my mind
speaks to them
their language
.
